Property law covers all the legal rules applicable to real estate: its acquisition, management, rental and related disputes. It is an area where the financial stakes are often considerable and where prompt action is frequently necessary.
Transactions and hidden defects
Buying or selling a property involves significant sums. Maître Toorawa assists you in the event of a dispute arising from a preliminary sale agreement, an unfulfilled condition precedent, or the discovery of hidden defects after purchase.
The hidden defects guarantee applies to non-apparent defects at the time of sale that render the property unfit for its intended use. The firm advises you on the merits of a claim and represents you before the competent courts.
Leases and rental disputes
Landlords and tenants sometimes find themselves in conflict: unpaid rent, damage to the property, disputed notice to quit, reclassification of a lease. The firm acts for both parties, under residential leases governed by the 1989 Act or commercial leases.
Co-ownership
Co-ownership disputes — challenging a general meeting decision, disputed service charges, contentious works, disputes with the managing agent — require a thorough knowledge of the specific rules set out in the Act of 10 July 1965. Maître Toorawa assists you in defending your rights as a co-owner.
